Collar is back with us. Chip on assignment. Matthew, a fixture on this show during the football season. And guess what? It is football season. He is Mr. Purple Insider. I pay for it. It's worth it. Information on the Vikings every day all year long and it's only magnified during training camp. But a friend Matthew Collar is here. He's on the John Schuster Caldwell Banker hotline. Do we now off last night's practice have a quarterback competition that's up in the air or is last night one of those moments where Kyler wasn't very good? That's clear, but he still will be the starting quarterback. Yeah, I mean, I'm still projecting Kyle and Murray to be the starting quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings. And if you look at the way that the reps were divvied up last night, 21, 11, 11, first team reps went to Kyler Murray and just nine to JJ McCarthy. So the way that the first team action has gone pretty much all training camp has gone to Murray with, you know, mixing in J.J. McCarthy. pretty much like three to one through the entire training camp. So if this was suddenly going to become a real, true, like, J.J. McCarthy has taken the reins. Then over these next couple of practices, we should see that even out or even J.J. McCarthy get a lot more first team work. But I really don't think J.J. McCarthy has done anything to make an argument that it shouldn't be Kyle and Murray because I... I mean, one, I would like people to remember that these people, these quarterbacks have played real football games before. Wait, really? I know. It's crazy, right? Like, you know, people go to a practice. They see one tweet of a good throw by somebody and they decide what's going on. But we have to remember that one quarterback just two years ago ranked by Pro Football Focus and ESPN's QBR in the top 12 quarterbacks in the entire NFL. We also have to remember that the season is over a month away, and it's only been a handful of practices so far, and yet it's being sort of treated like some kind of boxing match. I really don't think that's it. I think what Kevin O'Connell has tried to do is give J.J. McCarthy a fair shot to develop him as much as he possibly can and to have the understanding. that in the season, if Kyla Murray gets hurt in the third week of the year, that he's probably going to have to play J.J. McCarthy, so they're doing everything they possibly can to prepare him. But this is a multi-pro Bowl quarterback who has been good in the league before. And, you know, J.J. McCarthy last year ranked among the worst quarterbacks in the entire NFL. And I know it's been a long time. But we do remember that, right? Like, we do remember why they went to get Kyler Murray. I think that that matters. I mean, this is, it's been more of a, I feel like a, you know, a social media event for everyone than it's been like a close quarterback competition because McCarthy, to me, has just not shown enough progress to make it that interesting. But also I will say that to this point, I would like to see more from Kyler Murray in these coming practices. I think the early practices,

are very hard when you're learning this offense. They were for Kirk. They were for Sam Darnold. And last night, Brian Flores with the number one defense, brought it over and over and over again without Christian Derasaw practicing. And Dallas Turner had a great night. I mean, it was a nightmare from a quarterback pressure standpoint. So, you know, I still think that it's going the way that we expect it to go. But I also think that Kevin O'Connell, if it's going to be Kyler Murray, and this isn't going to turn the other direction, I think it's got to be soon where he starts to give all the reps over to Kyler Murray to get him prepared because I don't feel like he's been as sharp as they want him to be over the last couple practices. I get, and I agree with you to agree on, well, this is social media. You're right. And I was saying this to Chip last week. I just, it's unbelievable when we're evaluating almost past to pass as opposed to it's a week or two. And also when they actually play in games, it matters. But here's the other way it's no longer a social media event if KOC just says Kyler Murray is the start. Kevin O'Connell could have ended this and said, we're not done with J.J. McCarthy, but he could cite some of the data that you just did and say, Kyler is our starter. I'm still willing. to put a lot of money on the table that Kyler is going to be the starter. So from practices, from the scrimmages, which is a far cry from a game, when you're talking about Kyler getting better, where does he need to get better? Yeah, I mean, I think that, well, one is that Kyler has still had the best practices overall. And so if we were doing this like 18 holes and we were nine through, Tyler Murray would be winning the golf match by quite a bit still. And it also would be like how the Tour Championship used to be Matthew, where Kyler would come in at five under par. JJ would start the event at even par. So he not only has to play as well, he would need to notably outplay, Kyle. Is that fair? Oh, I totally agree. I mean, to me, the way I put it is kind of like the burden of proof is on J.J. McCarthy because one of these quarterbacks, you know exactly who they are. And the other quarterback... When he did play, yes, it's a small sample, but it was so poor that he has to prove to everybody, this is not who I am. And last night was a great example of who J.J. McCarthy still is. He had some breathtaking throws. I'm sure you saw him on social media. Line drives, hit guys on the money. But then he also had a stretch where he went three for 13, and it was flying balls over people's heads. You know, the rhythm wasn't right. And so, you know, I think with Kyler Murray, what he has to learn, I believe, would be to trust where the ball is supposed to go in Kevin O'Connell's offense. What we've seen quite a bit over these last couple of practices is dropping back, maybe not necessarily seeing it right away, getting rid of the ball to check down. And that's happening. The progressing is happening a lot faster for Kyler than it is JJ because of their experience. But.

You know, I'd like to see sometimes where there's a play that I know kind of what Kevin O'Connell is going for, and the ball just doesn't get to that guy. Instead, it gets to Hawkinson, instead it gets to Jim Jordan Mason. And I think that comes along with trust and belief. And I'll tell you, Kirk talked about this a lot in the early days of him learning the offense, of the timing of it and just believing in where the ball is supposed to go because you can't just see people open and then throw it to them. You have to really trust the anticipation and the timing of the play. I also think that practicing against this defense is probably the hardest practices of the entire NFL. Truly, Flores does not take the foot off the gas at any point. So when you're out there playing, Blake Cashman was a monster last night. Like, I mean, all the blitzes and stuff like that. Like, it's a good defense. It's going to be a good defense in the regular season. But I think it's really comfort, and that's where I would like to see if you are going to go with Kyler. I think it's the right choice. This team is good enough to win a lot of games if it has good quarterback play. This would be the week to say, all right, we've done all the installing. With all of you guys, we feel comfortable with your samples. They've each had like 200 plays or something total, somewhere around that range. It's time to move it over to get Kyler comfortable to start in week one. I think that before you go into the first preseason game, this would be the time to do it. Our friend Matthew Collar is with this. He'll be with us many times, weekly, sometimes more than weekly during the football season. Okay, give me two other players. who have stood out to you. Might be guys, and again, you're talking about cashmust. It might be guys who are established and people are going to say, okay, yeah, I know that name, but you felt like they've exceeded expectations or could be a rookie. And then two guys where you're saying, wow, I know it's early and it's very early, but I've got to see a little bit more out of these two guys. Yeah, I mean, I think that the most important player on the offense that is not Justin Dyrs on. Well, he didn't practice last night because they want to keep him off that stadium turf. He looks great. And they really needed him to look great. With that knee, he had the entire offseason to get it back to as close to 100% as he could. And when I talked to Christian out there and he had a huge smile on his face, I was like, that's... the first time I've really seen him with that demeanor in a very long time since he had that knee injury and he's played like it. And then last night when he's sitting out, Dallas Turner looked like a superstar against the backup tackle. I was like, oh, yeah, that's why I haven't noticed Dallas as much because he's going against the best left tackle or one of the best in the entire NFL. So I think Derisaw would be the first guy as far as stars go. And then kind of under the radar player would be Charles Demings, who was their fifth round draft pick. To me, he has been one of the superstars of training camp every single day, past breakups, tight coverage. And what people don't realize, I mean, yeah, he's a fifth round draft pick. He decided to stay at Stephen F. Austin out of just sheer loyalty to their program because they believed in him out of high school. He could have gone to Oregon, Alabama, South Carolina, and made a bunch of money, decided not to do it. And you could see him matching up with Justin Jefferson, Jim Jordan Addison, holding his own.

as a rookie. And I think the answer on the other side of things is pretty easy. It's two of the draft picks that they've had so far that we just haven't seen a lot of. And that's Caleb Banks, who is still ramping up and Dominique Orange as well, who hasn't taken many reps with the first team. And I think we were kind of looking at those guys as, oh, they're going to be starters. If I were to project it now, I would not say that. I think it's probably going to be Levi, Drake, Rodriguez, and tie in Grub Dawkins with the two rookies mixing in. That's just based on now. They could ramp up a ton as we go forward, but we just have not seen a lot of Caleb Banks as of yet. Let's put Mr. Caller on hold. We're going to switch to the links because they continue to play tremendous basketball. The head coach GM, as she's want to do, calls out the team after a loss on Thursday. No one guarded. Nobody played anybody. Cheryl's a... Geez, tough. Guess what happens? They play two tough teams, and they play well, and Caleb McRide sets a WNBA record and Fee plays like Fee on Saturday. The lengths are all of a story. I will say that while we're chatting with Matt here, I'm at Purple Insider, I am watching a press conference. We've got multiple TVs going here. And among the folks talking about new recommendations, on childhood vaccines. Here's our, here's our trio. Donald Trump Jr., Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., and Stephen Miller. There's some other folks talking. Those three providing guidance on childhood vaccines. Good luck to all of us. Makes you feel good to be an American. Good luck. As someone who is about to be a grandfather in a few months, I'm not going to be relying, or I, listen, first of all, it'll be up to Hunter Michaela. I can assure you Hunter Michaela are going to give him. What would Stephen Miller do in this particular case with the lovely Celia? That is not going to be a possibility. 19 past two. What is your one-word reaction when you think of Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. and Miller? helping us guide us through childhood vaccines. Let's never have kids again. My one word? Osterholm. Oh, God. Yes, we'll be reaching out to Mike for tomorrow. Spring is finally here, and it's that time of year when plans start becoming real.

Among the sports, he also pays very close attention to is the WMBA. And if you're in this town, the last decade plus, you should be paying attention to the WMBA. Obviously, the dynasty from before and this rebuilt club on the fly. I'm going to start with Kailen McBride. And obviously, last night, yesterday was phenomenal where she hits 10-3s, WMBA record as 43. But here she is at 34. She's an accomplished player. She had been to four All-Star Games before this year. I mean, one year she was 10th in MVP voting. But this always doesn't happen in sports, Matthew, where there's just like a different gear. for a player at this point in their career. She's been in the league since 2014, and when I listen to people who follow this closer than I, they say this is just the best year of her career. And oh, by the way, yesterday, it wasn't just 43 points, but she's gotten this play that may be a few people in this town have heard of named Paige Beckers. So what has impressed you most about her play this year? Everything. I mean, actually, you know what it is? It's her selflessness because I think that we know that she can shoot and she's an incredible shooter. She always has been. She's one of the greatest three-point shooters of all time. But if you watch their offense closely, she'll set screens and have big centers of power forwards smashing to her and she'll guard the toughest player. And she, I think, is an unbelievable teammate. wasn't named to the All-Star game, which, you know, I think there's some context to that because half of the Lynx roster was. And it was like, well, they're not going to put in the whole starting five, even though they probably, you know, even though they probably could. But, you know, I think she'll do absolutely anything it takes to win. And when you saw Cheryl Reeves reaction, when she kind of jumped in her arms at the end of the game, she's got to be one of Cheryl's favorite players of all time because. She is the hardest working away from the basketball. She's playing 35 minutes a night, which you just don't see from, you know, players at her age, and she's willing to go out and do it and guard the toughest players. And she's getting that reward, you know, because she's playing with the best point guard in the WNBA. And I don't think it's particularly close with Olivia Miles. And the way that Miles is drawing attention from the defense with these pick and rolls. It's allowed Caleb McBride to get open threes. And also, you know, they have a lot of great plays for her where she comes off screens or handoffs and she can jump and turn in the air and knock down threes. But I don't know that she's ever had quite an environment like this where she's playing with this megastar point guard that draws so much attention and then fee is out there as well. And it's like, if you forget about Caleb McBride, she will drop 40 points on you. And this team has now. five starters, all of them can drop 30 points plus at any given night, which is really, to me, the sign of a great team. And there is another thing that I want to throw out there is when you expand the league by three teams in two years, the talent is more spread out. And what has happened. I think what we've seen is now the superstars are really, really popping from everyone else because it's not every night that you're playing all-star team rosters like you were probably.

six out of ten nights in the W before, but now, you know, one player gets hurt on Dallas, Jess Shepard yesterday, they're playing people out there that, you know, two years ago might not have even made the floor. So I think that that's really helped the stars pop out much more. How close is Fee to playing like Fee? Yeah, that's the crazy thing, right? She's been absolutely awesome since she's come back. But I think that she said maybe 75%, I would put her closer to 100 based on my eye. But, you know, I think what we've seen from her is she's hitting a lot of threes. And she has often been get to the paint, work hard for every two points, but maybe not always pressing her shot as much as she has. And then, of course, If you give her wide open shots because of what Olivia Miles is doing, she's absolutely going to hit them. So she's not having to take too many shots off the dribble. I think defensively is probably where she'll get back a little bit more, get the win back a little bit more. But, man, to go through. She was pretty good Saturday, right? I know, right? As I'm saying, I don't want to say it's much less than 100% when she, but she is an all, truly all-world player. I mean. There's so much attention for Olivia Miles. All of it is earned. But let's not forget, the Fisa Collier, who just last year was second in the MVP voting. So I think that she's getting closer and closer to the fee that we've seen. But if it was only this version, the rest of the way, yeah, that would be fine. That would be perfectly fine for them to compete for a championship. It's odd to say this, but I still think it's worth raising when you have a point. Miles is just phenomenal. I raised it a couple weeks ago. How many Minnesota rookies have made the impact that Olivia Miles has? And the obvious comparison is Moss, right? It's just a very small list when you look at the major sports teams in town. When you join a group where you knew Fee was coming back at some point, but they lost some core players. And you come in and you make this sort of impact game after game and selflessly. And there are times when you need to shoot more. And she never needs to pass more because the passing is so right. And I made the other comparison too that. where lamello ball should watch olivia miles as they both offer up a lot of just like head shaking passes but olivia doesn't give you the other type of lamello head shaking and i hope some of that lamello head shaking uh slows down with the wolves where he'll offers like three or four pass you're like what are you doing you don't see a lot of that with miles but what i get to my point here How are you seeing the synergy between Miles and Collier improve from game to game?

Yeah, and just to go off your point, I mean, if the Vikings hadn't been a seven-win team the year Justin Jefferson came into league, you know, we'd probably throw him there pretty close. Sure, yeah. You know, with Olivia Miles, the thing that I am absolutely stounded by is her consistency. Now, it helps that she played five years of college. And I love this for college athletes, whether it's quarterbacks or point guards or whoever. Such a reminder. that, right, that they could play five years and she played a ton of basketball. But my expectation early on in the season was like, oh, she'll probably have, you know, 25-point games and then 5-point games and then sort of get, you know, a little bit acclimated and so forth. No, every single night she is playing, shooting efficiently and passing the ball, as you said, efficiently. And I feel like... When Nefisa Collier, she stepped right in and there were no issues whatsoever with kind of switching from Natasha Howard to being Nefisa Collier who she's working that pick and roll with. But she's just a mastermind, man. I mean, somebody put a bunch of her highlights with some jazz music and you're like, this just works. It's one of those, my friend Meyer Metcalf described it as like she was the person that when she was, you know, 10 years old. got to the park at 6 o'clock in the morning and left once it got dark, you know, and never just played basketball and never did anything else because she has such a natural feel. And I actually think, because I've been wondering about this. Now, she's the number two picks. So it's not like this is an underdog story. She's been known since she was a freshman that she was going to be a top draft pick. But just the acclamation being so quick, you know, I think it's that Cheryl Reeve has been able to push her IQ to the absolute max and so of these other players. Like, they're all very, very experienced and very smart players. So you are not limited in any way for what you can draw up, what type of thing you can run, what you can ask of her. The one thing that has surprised me, though, is the blowbys, where, like, she just has this great pacing, and I think defenders get a little flat footage. She just goes by them. I mean, that didn't actually happen a ton in college, but to see it as much as she's doing it now. It's so, so impressive. And I regret to inform the rest of the WNBA. Cheryl has done it again. Yeah, and the thing about it is because the money just increased dramatically. I'm not sure we're going to see more of the WMBA players coming in with five years of college. Rightfully so that it's increased, but we know why on the men's side they've come in. You know, on the women's side, now the more money's available, we probably won't see it. All right, my friend, good to catch up, and we'll look forward to a lot of conversations throughout the football season and throughout the year. Yeah, man. Thanks for having me. Matthew Collar, Purple Insider. It's an absolute must if you care about this team. It gets better and better. I mean, he's just getting better people on for the YouTube side of it, the stories, the inside. He's really, really good. Again, the president now taking questions on a variety topics, and other people in the room. But, I mean, my word is frightening. Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. and Stephen Miller.

An executive order on childhood vaccines. This trio, honestly. Funny. I'd rather have real doctors. I'd rather have scientists. Not a real estate guy. A conspiracy guy. And I don't know how to label Stephen A. Miller. Stephen A. I just gave him that. That's pretty good. I think you used the word weasel earlier. He's a weasel. That works. He's honestly. He's loathsome. It's nice, kind. You're comfortable with these three people offering an executive order on childhood vaccines when Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. just keep opening up on... conspiracy theories, and now Trump, by the way, is just telling us the straight is open now. No ships are going through, but she's open. Open. Again, the credibility is just oozing out of this White House. What do you want to say? Are you comfortable with these three having enormous input on an executive order for childhood vaccines? Again, executive orders. Sometimes they carry some weight other times. How far do they go? The court comes in. But, yeah, I want none of the three of them anywhere near, any conversation on childhood vaccines. Spring is finally here, and it's that time of year when plans start becoming real.

The executive order. promotes ideas that Trump has had for a while for years and years. Of course, no medical backing this, no science back in this. Separating the measles, mumps, and rebella vaccine into three different shots, administered in separate visits. Drux of the Nation's Health Department approve of vaccine research. Well, we should continue to do that. We've had an endless amount of vaccine research. He also said that.

What power to the guy in TikTok? Do we know his name? I heard it. Johann Vargas. 20 years old. Okay, 20. And Johann, as Chris Finch says about Aunt Edwards, Yohan's got some gravity. Because Johan says this on TikTok and guess what happened? Hit it. I better see everyone there. I repost it, share it. We're all going to be there. I will be there, too. If you got an e-bike, regular scooter, bring it. All right. We're all going to be there. So get there a little early, get there right on time, get there a little late, don't matter. Just be there, all right. And they were there. Hundreds around U.S. Bank Stadium. E-s scooters, e-bikes, also. Flying down this thing I'd like to call the highway. The old 35W? Yeah. Not a small isolated highway. That wasn't in Ely, Minnesota. That wasn't in Nevis. That's a Saturday night 35W situation. And should we end the world as we know it because of it? Of course not. Were they acting like clowns and jackasses? Yeah, they were. Because if those would have been cars stopping traffic, we call them out, right? If those are the individuals just on conventional bikes stopping traffic, I wouldn't say shoot to kill, but... I'd call it out, and it's becoming such a pattern. And if you don't think it's a pattern, you're sticking your head in the sand. You're not paying attention to what's happening a little bit down here. But as somebody who just walked around Badae-Makaska the other day and saw the nonsense that's going on with e-bikes and scooters there, it's all over the place. So if people want to use the e-bikes, and the scooters, and they're not on the sidewalk, and they're semi-kind of sort of paying attention to the loss, you do you. But when they're acting like buffoons, you can call them out, and you should call them out. And if you're hindering traffic around U.S. Bank Stadium, let me think. Oh, there's this thing called HCMC nearby. What if there was an issue with that? What were we saying today? So, yeah, kids can act like kids and people can call them out also. That's allowed, right? It's allowed and they should be called out. That was... incredibly foolish behavior. Saturday night it was what, about 10, 30, 11 o'clock? Yep. I mean, who knows who's been downtown perhaps having a couple, maybe driving drunk, maybe close to it either way, not expecting what they eventually saw. You're just putting yourself in a really, really terrible situation. They weren't prepared to arrest them.

Of course not. They don't have the numbers to arrest them. No. It's as simple as that. Two to 300 people. Of course, you cannot arrest that many people flying around on their scooters and bikes. Then I saw this from an aging shock jock. I love scooters. I love the scooter takeover. Lighten up. When you make everything a federal case, it makes you look like an idiot. Nothing bad happened is fine. Aging shock jock, Jason to Russia with that. It's a shame. He'll join us next because he's a fool on this one. They're on the highway. They're stopping traffic in a busy part of town. I know he's trying to relate to the youngsters. It's hurting him a lot as an ageist that now he's old himself. And so he's trying to find a way to identify with the kids. The aging shock jock will try to defend his position when he joins us next. I love the scooter takeover. Lighten up. When you make everything a federal case, it makes you look like an idiot. Nothing bad happened. It's fine. That's aging shock jock, Jason Rush, on the scooter takeover. You're okay with him going on the highway, too? How far can they go? The highway is, the highway is ridiculous. Yeah. The highway is ridiculous. How about buzzing over by HCMs? No problem. Okay with that? Look, you are, this is such fraudulent argument. Hmm. Oh, what about HCMC? It's right nearby. There's never been a car crash. There's never been a construction. And it's a problem. So we try to avoid those. So you have two minutes of, I've watched video that people have sent me like, look at the game. You studied it? 90 seconds of scooters going through an intersection. We don't have to take it to the extreme of like, oh, my God, what about this? What about that? Let's just deal with what happened. What happened was pretty harmless, kids being dumb, fun, fine. But it's an example what's happened in these scooters and bikes all the time. That, to me, is a separate issue because I am with you, especially on the e-bikes, the way people... E-bikes are essentially motorcycles. They are. And kids are driving these things and riding them around like crazy. So my opinion on scooters originally was designed with the, you know, speed limited rental scooters downtown. Now what you see, especially in the neighborhoods, is kids essentially on BMX. motorcycles, unlimited scooter. That, to me, is dangerous and problematic. This was, to me, this was. To me, this was joy, harmless, kids having fun.

But then all the old people have to come in and be like, whoa, my God. Ages. That's why ages here. It's not that big of a deal. Why does this have to be such a big deal? Well, because I need two segments to kill on the show. And then people are like, rules are rules. Like, give me a break. Like, yes, we should arrest everyone that goes one mile over the speed. I didn't say that. Some conformities, some paying attention. It's happening so much that more people. Scooter takeovers? No, but the scooter delinquency and the e-bike delinquency. But is that the same thing? Yeah, but I think if you're allowed to do it all over the place, why can't we now do it here? But it's just like saying, like, oh, the drag racing cars were out of control, so now we're just mad at everybody who drives? Like, to me, the drag racing was a problem. Right. scooters recklessly driving dangerously that's a problem this to me was not that but i don't want this going on every week how about if it's buzzer on your town st paul love it mr st paul we could use the excitement it's pretty boring over there like could use the people bring the tic-tok scooters to the 651 are you going to have johan on the show today we should yeah why not jason Check them out.
